for the sale of war stamps in his

Pfc. Sol Crandell
Reports from Army
Base in Far East
Juniors and seniors will probably
remember Sol Crandell, class of ' 43.
Since - graduation, . S'ol has - entered
the army air forces and is now stationed in India. Miss Geneive Clark,
his former history teacher at Central,
has received the following letter from
him.
Dear Miss Clark:
You are probably quite surprised
to hear from me but tonight as I
was thinking of my high 's chool days,
'your fine history classes came to my
mind and I thought you would like
hearing from me.
I am in far off India stationed at
a very large U. S. Army Afr Base.
I've been overseas seven months and
it seems like seven years to me.
This is quite an interesting country, wrapped around the two main
religions, Hindu1'sm and Mohammedisnl. My course in Contemporary
History, whiCh I took from Miss
Parker at Central, gave me a little
background of the religious customs
here whiCh helps me out. This country is very unclean as the people live
under the most unsanitary conditions
imaginable. I have toured the Taj
Mahal (the famous Indian shrine)
and it is a beautiful memorial. I have
al'so gone through.f5O'1ne medieval
forts an d other historical places. The
"B urnin g Ghats" are interesting to
observe as that is where the Hindus
burn or cremate their dead which is
a part of their religion.
The Army treats their men quite
well here as we live in nice cement
barracks, have fine showers, and the
Red Cross furnishes a building for
soldiers to relax in their leisure
hours. America is a wonderful place,
and if anyone doubts what I say they
can come here and see how 380 ,000,000 people live in this country.
Say hello to all my friends at Central High. I nope you're feeling fine
and in good spirit. I would like you
to write me and tell me what is going on at Central. I'll close now.
Your former pupil ,

Hi, Mr. Nelson
One of the features of the democracy in which
we live is a frequent change of executives, not only
in the business and political worlds, but in our educational world as well . The workings of this democracy have brought to us a new principal, J . Arthur
Nelson.
In line with these democratic pri nciples and
practices and in view of the reputation he has already achieved in the field of education, we, the
student body, heartily welcome him and wish to
assure him the same good will , desire for co-operation and allegiance that we have extended to his
predecessor in the years past.
We, the students of Central High, take pride in
the scholastic standing of our school, in the increasing recognition of our student ' government,
and in the social democracy and the opportunities
. of our extracurricular activities. We feel that our
faith is justified, and we hope that we may by our
example win the confidence of Principal Nelson in
such a way as to make him proud of his new school.
Flash!
Every student can think of
something about Central High
sc hool that he is proud of or something that should be improved.
The Register wants your opinions!
Therefore, the Register is printing
a column of letters and notes, entitled "The Voice of the Stu dents." Bring your letter to 149,
and if it's good we'll use it. This
column can succeed only with
your co-operation.
HIGH
Question Box
As we thumb through one of the latest fashion magazines, we see that Central's jolly mademoiselles are are
certainly well represented .
Joan Cahill winks at us from the cover as she poses in
her super sweater and skirt combination of apple gr een
and primrose. First page attraction is Barbara Brewer in
her soldier blue cable stitched sweater, showing that
though she is just starting her high school career she
is already "on the beam."
Lord a.nd Taylor never had a smarter advertisement
than this month's. Photographed is a bright blue blazer
trimmed with white piping. The newe.st, a straight gored
skirt of chalk white , and a .gathered high neck blollse
complete the outfit. Incidentally the model is Arlene
Sconce.
How does it feel to be a freshman?
Mary McFayden, H. R. 240: "It's
exciting and oooh so different from
grade school."
John Sage, H. R. 237: (He just
loo ked at your reporter with a blank
expression. )
Dave Gray, H. R. 329: "Such a
bunch of beautiful women!"
Macy Zerbe, H. R. 220: "The freshmen should be an example for the
whole school."
Johnny Schroeder, H. R. 220: "I
like everything but crawling around
the halls avoiding the wastebaskets."
Marilyn Viri'gers, H. R . 240: "It's
a lot of fun but very confusing."
Marge Putt, H. R. 240: I'Super!"
Polly Robison, H. R. 240: "Finally
made it!"
June Cox, H. R. 240: "It's tops."
Johnny Loechner, H. R. 220: ."1
like it just like my algebra grade33%."
George Bedford, H. R. 220: "Everything O. K. but the lunch period."
Wade Vogel, H. R. 238: "Nice
bunch of sophomores."
Jimmy Rosenquist, H. R. 220:
"More fun in 425."
Feature display of this month's edition is "Make It
Yourself." Snapped as some of the examples are Amy Jo
Bergh's twin bracelets of shiny copper; we heard she
spent the summer at a well known camp making them.
.Joan Rosenstock is one of the many who have taken up
knitting in reply to, "sorry no more wool sox." Joan's
latest are sox of powder blue . It's our g uess that she'll
have loads of pairs for this winter.
A gay touch of peasantry is added to th ese novelties
by Barbara Turk's bright felt suspenders. Made of any
color dreamed of she combines flowers and quaint designs to make them really look like the "old country."
As we turn the next page we see Jewel and Joan
Heagle modeling for Bests the front and back of the ever
popular polo coat. From the back the coat of soft tan
shows off the roominess of the straight lines; while the
front affords the view of the l arge lapels and of the
unusual wooden buttons.
Adorning Nancy Cloyd's wrist as she models the latest
Revlon shade is her large collection of Indian, charm,
and identification bracelets. Her latest addition is a narrow Indian bracelet with eleven small turquoise stones
across it and although she isn 't wearin g it, we know Nancy
has a silver and turquoise necklace to match.
F inally after turning the last page of Glamour Gads
we sigh ecstatically and eagerly look forward to next
week's (we hope) edition.

In "Yankee fro m

Bowen has
made three generations of the family of Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes pass quickly hefore the reader. The
book is hot a biography in the strictest sense of the word,
for the author felt at liberty to put words in the mouths
of the characters and to fabricate backgrounds and incidents for h er story , while not distorting the facts. Th e
characters emerge with the ir own well-defined characteristics.
She inser ts wisps of the history of the tim es to give the
background as the book moves along. But there is no t
quite enough written about the family, especially the
judge himself whose career as associate justice of the
's upreme co urt is comp ressed into the last few ch apters
when it definit ely d eserves more space. Throu ghout the
book the author has been consist ent with her aim which
was to write about Justice Holmes in human te l·ms.
The book begins with a picture of the Justice's grandfath er, Abiel Holmes , a stubborn, extr eme (but also
humble and kindly) Calvinist minister , who wrote the
first hi'story of the United States because h e wanted to
r ead the history of his beloved country. He was finally
dismissed as pastor of his Cambridge church when Unit a rianism swept through his once-orthodox congregation.
Abiel Holmes' son was Oliver W endell who was destin ed
to become one of Am eri ca's foremo's t literary men, the
famous "Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table," the wit of
Boston.
Oliver Wendell (sr.) was as different from his father
as he could possibly be. Durin g his childhood h e had had
quite eno ugh of Calvinistic solemnity and fear of the
devil , so h e banishe d them from his life. He was exceed-

ingly human, deserting the law for medicine a's a profession because h e wished something closer to man than
the dull, imp ersonal body of the law.
His first son was also named Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Here again th ere was a sharp contrast between father and
'SOn , coupled with a hidden rivalry. The doctor and his
other children were extr eme ly talkative; Wendell was
more silent and grave. The do ctor was quite short in
height; his son attained a h eigh t of over six feet. The
father had abandoned the law with distate; the son loved
it and made it his life's work.
W endell Holln es married Fanny Dixwell, daughter of
his Latin school t each er. Their fifty-odd years of married
life in which Holmes built up his career s tru ggling
again st fancied insec urity fill th e last h a lf of the book .
Wend e ll Holmes left his lawyer's practice, in which h e
was never interested , to become sllccessively professor of
law at Harvard, associate justice and chief justice of the
s upreme court of Massachusetts, and finally associate
justice of the supreme court of the United States and one
of the gr eatest authorities on the comm-on law.
As a jud ge, Oliver Wendell Holmes was independent
an d libe ra l. Hi's contrib ution to Ame ri can law with his
method of fitti ng th e law to human progress is tremendous. His dissents made him famou s, and ye t h e h ated
to dissent, be li eving that too many dissents detracted
from the prestige of th e co urt. Many of hi s di'ssents have
a lready become the law of the land, and many more probab ly will.
As a book acquainting the reader with Justice Holmes,
the man , and his family and the growth of Amel'! ca during three generations, "Yankee from Olympus" is to be
highly recommended .

Who of the Central fac ulty rivals
Eddie Cantor and Papa Dionne in the
overwhelming matter of daughters?
Well, the principal, Mr . J . Arthur Nelson is the only man we know! His
family consists of girls, girls, girlsfive to be exact-ranging in age from
three to twelve years ..
"Don't you like boys?" we wondered, but we were assured that this
was not the situation. Mr. Nelson related that he had wante d a boy, but
the boy turned out to be twin girls.
These twins evidently have a certai;n Gremlin-like quality, for a few
months 'a go when a dozen eggs w ere
likened unto twelve exquisitively
matched pearls, a friend brought
three dozen country eggs to the Nelsoos; the eggs :went into the r efrige rator, and all except the twins left
the kitchen . Later, one of the family
returned to the kitchen, but stood
aghast-the twins had taken one egg
after another, violently squashed
each between gooey hands, and, when
stopped, they were r eaching for the
last three.
Another question - who rivals
Wheaties in the sponsorin g of champions?
Again we answer-our Star Bright!
Since he first tau ght the oral expression classes in the Fremont High
school, many of Mr. Nelson's pupils
have become famous; for example,
one boy was with General Chennault's
Flying Tigers and was the first American to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross. Another is a business manager of Metro-Gold wyn-Mayer (he
managed the affairs of the picture
"Boys Town" when it came to Omaha); one more is the owner of a million-dollar wholesale company.
In one of the four years when Mr.
Nelson headed the language department and coached the oral expression
classes at Benson High school, two
students from the same class won national championship honors in debate.
All these prize-winning and honorge ttin g students seem to indicate that

The King Cole trio, whose coupling
of "Straighten Up and Fly Right" and
"I Can't See for Lookin' " is currently
piling nickels into juke boxe!l from
coast to coast, is furnishing stiff competition for the once supreme Inkspots. The trio 's ability to sing and
play everything from top pops to the
great classics in such an infectious
manner has put them on top by public acclaim .
Nat "King" Cole, Oscar Moore, and
Johnn y Miller have played engagements in most of the top theaters and
clubs of the country. "Man for man,
this is the great trio, the gr eat small
unit, not excepting Art Tatum 's trio,"
raved music mag azine Metronome.
Johnny Miller, who replaced the
former bass, Wesley Prince, in the
Cole trio, stands out at any jump

with his terrific drive, providing a
solid background for Cole's piano an d

Eagles Crush Tee Jayi
Green Scores I
Nip Benson in Opener
Central's title chances in the Intercity race appear to be brightening
with each succeeding game. The Purples now have the Benson and Tee
Jay contests under their belt and remain undefeated thus far.
Judging by their performance over
the week-end, North and South will
be the teams to beat. North downed
Tech, 19 to 6, and South defeated
Bensl'm, 13 to O. During the past few
years' Central has had hard luck with
South ' and this year the Packers appear as tough as ever.
*
By now. everyone must have noticed that Central has a new male
cheerleader. After sitting drooling in
. the grandstand at De France, Follmer
decided to come down where the girls
could drool over him.
HALL OF FAME
\Vith two years of varsity football under his belt Bill Green,
triple threat Eagle tail back, is
looked upon to carry a big load of
Coach Knapple's green football
team of '45.
Bill started his football stardom
early in high school when he was
the standout of Coach Perry's
freshman ballteam. He was on the
school team when only a sophomore and has played ilrst team ever
since.
Late last basketball season Bill
was encouraged to play basketball.
Altho.ugh hampered by a late start,
he' proved his ',v alue and became a
f .. -.- -' "member of the.second team. There
is no reason why he should not be
a prize member of the first team
this year. '
In track he is also a man 'to
watch in '45. Bill throws the football, and placed ' second in the city
meet.
He weighs 180 pounds and
stands 5 feet, 9 inches. His athletic abilities reach no end, for he
is a true athlete and a swell sport.
EXTRA! Anyone interested in taking a commando course should come
to Room 149 after school and sign up
with Stanley Schack. Mr. Schack has
spent his last few days chasing girls
ou t of the Register office. It seems
the members of the fairer sex wanted
to know the name of that handsome
football player No. 98, .whose name
~asn't on the roster. In order to preserve his state of being Mr. Schack
has kindly consented to let the name
of this trouble maker be printed. He
is Charlie "Casanova" Beber. Schack
now feels he has gone through so
much physical exertion in the last few
days that he is completely ready to
give the best commando course available . .
*
Tomorrow is th~ day of the Sioux
City Central game, which promises to
be a real thriller. The little Maroons
boast a vet'eran line and fast charging backfield . Another thrilling event
will be to see a member of the sports
staff at the game. Plans have been
made which include the editor's car,
provided Irvin Gendler will push.

Many of the sizeable gains reeled
off against' Tee Jay were made by Bud
Abboud , one of the hardest running
back-s in the city. After the game last
Friday, one Tee Jay player who
looked as if he had been run through
a meat grinder was heard to remark,
"I couldn't tackle that guy." Enough
said.

Uttle Maroons
Tomorrow Night
"Papa" Knapple's boys will invade
Iowa' tomorrow ' night to play the
Siou x City Central Maroons in an important Missouri Valley contest. The
last game, played in 1941 , was taken
by Omaha Central to the tune of
12-6 .
Although the Central team looks
good this year and ma~ be expected
to rate high in the Intercity race, little is known of the usually .potent Maroons; therefore it is anybody's guess
as to who will come out on top. If
the T.J. comeback is any indication as
to the Eagles' fight, then Sioux City
boys had better be on guard.
Central's game captain, Russ Gorman, will lead a strong line while the
backfield weakened by injuries suffered in practice may not measure up . .
Clipper Weekes ' ank le may keep him
from taking the trip, and if it does,
he will probably break his neck getting there anyway.
"Hothead Harvey" Meehan is staggeriIig around Ye Olde Practice field
in fine shape and will probably "start
the tussle. "Shifty Willy" Green has
had ankle trouble, but it seems that
nothin g can keep that boy down.
"Two Ton" Tetrick is handicapped
by a hip that insists upon slipping out ,
of place and a nearly dislocated shoulder. "Bouncing Buddy" Abboud is
still running around without a piece
of tape on him.
Half back Jack Crahan, Sioux City'S
one letterman in the backfield, will
undoubtedly be the boy to watch.
Matching his drive will be Paul Doran's speed.

For Coming Season
With the leadership of Captain
Frank Mullens and Secretary-~ea­
surer Tom Kipling to guide them, the
rifie team is hopefully preparing
themselves for what appears to be a
promising season.
These two plus Sidney Nearenberg
are returning lettermen who should
form the backbone of a team which,
for the first time in its history, plans
to include freshmen .
. The team expects to carry a squad
of twenty me'inbers, and tryouts are
slated for the next two weeks. Prqmising cadets include Dick Stewart,
Howard Loomis, Tom Page, Pat
ThomaS. and Carl Flemmer.
Matches with North , South, Benson, T. J. , and A. L. are scheduled.

With- four veteran's enrolled , the
girls's tennis tournament which will
commence Wednesday, promises to
be a real thriBer. The four leading
contenders are members of last
year's championship team, Marjorie
Bock, Pat Weir, Joanne Weir, and
Delores Hughes.
Altogether, 16 girls are out for
tennis. Marjorie Bock was camp tennis champion at Camp Holliday in.
Managwaw, Wisconsin, this summer.
Basketball is also in the limelight,
with 40 girls out. All girls are welcome to participate, but must sign up
with Miss Treat before teams are
chosen today after school.
The G.A.A. hayrack is planned ~or
two weeks from tomorrow.
Boy Bowlers Open
New Season 'Monday
The Boys' Bowling leagu e will get
under way next Monday ' with ten
teams representing forty Central
bowlers moving in on the Music Box
a lleys after school. The league, now
comphrtely filled up, will continue
throu gh the winter, each team bowling three games every Monday. The
winning club and the five individual
bowlers with the highest year-aroqnd
averages will be presented with trophies.
At a meeting last Thursday the
members elected Bill Bock, president,
and Ed Zorinski, vice-president, of
the league. Stanley Schack was chosen secretary-treasurer.
There is still some question what
permane nt day the weekly league will
have . Several of , the teams c~nnot
gather a ll their bowlers on Monday
but the alleys cannot be obtained on
the more suitable Thursday.

The margin appeared to be sufficient even without Clipper Weekes'
try for extra point, which was wide,
as time was running low. But Benson
came back on the ' followin g kickoff
and all but tied the score by combining breaks with Central 's apparent
laxity. Walt Loomis chased the kickoff back to the thirty yard line and
connected on a pass to Glenn Richter
two plays later which was good for
twenty yards to the Centr_al 46. Loomis broke loose for sixteen more and a
penalty plus Sidaris' 23 yard ,un put
the ball on the three yard line to furnish a thrilling climax.
Central threatened once in the first
quarter but a penalty stopped the
ball on Benson's .. eleven, and the
Eagles lost it on downs. Tetrick re;
covered a fumble on the 49 yard line
to start the march and Cen,t ral line
.blocking opened the Green Wa?e dere nse continually.
Green Heads Offense
Bill Green carried the offensive
burden for the Eagles. He piled up
68 yards rushing and got off a beautiful 63 yard quick kick. Clipper
Weekes played his usual steady
blocking game. The line standouts
were Russ Gorma~, Gene Tetrick, and
Herb Reese. Jim Foy, who came into
the game in the second quarter,
played a standout game at tackle.
Both teams . showed' some rough
edges with 125 yards in combined
penalties and six fumbles, but Central fans came away well pleased with
hopes for a ~rea t season.

Victory, however, was not certain
for the Omaha lads until the closi ng
minutes of the game when .the second
of two last half touchdowns sealed
the win. The Yellowjackets fou ght
stubbornly at even odds for two qu arters, but in the final stanzas th e
Bluffs eleven, checked by Russ Gorman and his mates, had their hand s
f!lll with the powe rful Purple and
White gx:.0und-gaJ ning attack .
Gorman Recover. Fumble
Central opened the scoring when
Russ Gorman recovered Red Pulley's
fumble on the Thomas Jefferson 22
yard line. On the first play, big Bill
Green slashed through the center of
the T ee Jay line and plowed 22 yard s
for a touchdown.
Early in the second quarter, th e
Yellowjackets stung back as they
made their only scoring opportunity
click. Chubby Dick Osborne set u p
the score by intercepting Bill Green 's
pass and galloping 54 yards to th e
Eagle 30. After being penalized back
to the 40, Gordie Foutch, illusive Tee

Green and speedy Bud Abboud carried the pigskin to the four, and two
plays later Green scampered over for

A 57-yard quick kick by Green ,

Scoring early in the second quarter,
€ oach Ekfelt's reserve t eam held the
heavier South scrubs in check till th e
last three minutes, when the Packers
scored a disputed touchdown.
With Frank Watkins putting them
in,scoring position with two sparkling
runs, the scrubs opened up a hole in
the South line and hard-hitting Joe
Zajicek, who was a thorn in the opponents' side all afternoon, rammed
through for the first r eserve score of
the season. Lacy's try for the extra
point was low. After South's score,
Ed Trabold broke through and
stopped the plunge for the _extra
pOint:
Outstanding on defense for Central
were Dick Duda, Jim Cramers, and
Norman Heaver, who spent most of
the game stopping 'George Stewart,
who was the only real South threat.

Battle to 6·6 Tie
- ., I n f,a sptrited'l foilrtb quarter drive
that started from midfield after Gene
Tetrick's recovery of a Benson fumble, the Eagles pushed over a single
touc hdown to squeeze past the Benso n Bunni~s 6-0 in the first game of
the season two weeks ago. A beautif ul display of line blocking set th e
stage for Bill Green, Harvey _Meehan
a nd Bud Abbpud in the decisive 46
yard march tha't made it ten years in
a row without a' defeat by Benson.
Tetrick, who played an outstanding defensive game, set up Cen~ral's
touchdown ' with his recovery of Don
Dutcher's fumble after the Benson
wingman had picked up twelve yards
on a· reverse. BiB Green spun through
tackle for sixteen yards and Meehan
followed with seven. The Bunnies
couldn't seem to get hold Of Green
and he twisted and plowed through
to a first and ten on the fifteen yard
stripe. Bud Abboud to.ok over and put
the ball on the five and Green finally
rammed over from the two yard line.
